⇌••⇋ FAMILY HISTORY ⇌••⇋
❖ ◦ ≫ History of Vikstrom
|◦ ≫ House Vikstrom, a distinguished branch off of House Viduggla, emerged due to a difference in values and principles. Initially, this separation proved to be beneficial as House Vikstrom garnered acclaim for their progressive endeavors aimed at enhancing the well-being of their holdings. However, as time progressed within the Empire, House Vikstrom's ideals underwent a transformation. While their dedication to the welfare of the people remained, their beliefs found a new foundation in the faith of Unionism and the promising vision they found in Regalization. This shift encountered resistance from the majority of Velheim populace, gradually fostering tensions between the House and the people. Over the course of time, House Vikstrom evolved and adapted to align with the values of the Empire, striving to embody the idea of Regalization, all in the pursuit of ushering in a brighter future under the Emperor's esteemed mantle.
◦ ≫ In due course, House Vikstrom came to recognize that their endeavors to encourage the Velheim populace to embrace these principles and be receptive to new ideas had fomented a silent unease. This unrest escalated notably after the matriarch's embrace of the Unionist Faith. Though the Velheim people never publicly voiced dissent against House Vikstrom, the matriarch discerned that their ideals wouldn't find resonance here, despite the transformative changes she made to develop her realm and enhance the lives of her people. Consequently, a decision was made, and the matriarch received a warm welcome to assume control over new holdings in a Regalized region of Steerland.
◦ ≫ Fresh to these lands, House Vikstrom devoted themselves to studying the geography and put significant effort in enhancing various domains of the region. Their endeavors extended beyond their own territories, influencing other regions as well. The matriarch undertook missionary efforts in the name of her patrons, working to strengthen the influence of Unionism in other lands.
❖ ◦ ≫ Countess Tuija Vikstrom | @Annie_Short
|◦ ≫ A new albeit notable figure within the Unionist faith, the Countess of Oxenfurd devots herself as an Everian to the faith and also performs the role of Imperial Hostess. Her dedication to being a present figure and spreading the good word of the Emperor and Everwatcher has been noticed by her many peers.
|
❖ ◦ ≫ Lady Rhea Vikstrom | @Hautee
|◦ ≫ The passionate Lady Rhea could be seen as the waves of the sea with her ever-changing nature. A mage at heart, the lady strives to better the lives and understanding of mages around the city and Empire and is known to speak her honest opinion and disregard the etiquette of the courts at times.
❖ ◦ ≫ Lady Estrith Vikstrom | @Mystiluu
|◦ ≫ Taking after the matriarch, Lady Estrith, and the Countess have a close bond due to her conversion and vow to serve the faith. While the Lady may have a stronger distaste for the Occult, she attempts to serve dutifully but her opinion can be visibly seen even if unspoken.
|
❖ ◦ ≫ Lady Mie Vikstrom | @Senpah
◦ ≫ Lady Mie is in a constant battle of questioning her faith as she embraces the new ideals of Unionism but also wishes to stick to her family's roots. While this does not fully occupy her time, the Lady is an avid reader and enjoys discovering and building off new concepts within the fields of the occult.
